Yatağan Power Station

Yatağan Power Station is a coal-fired power station in Turkey in Yatağan, Muğla Province in the south-west of the country. Currently owned by Aydem Enerji[1] it has a 120m chimney. Yatağan thermal power plant consumes 5.4 million tons of coal and can produce 3,780 MWh annually, the least productive power station in Turkey.[2] The area is a sulfur dioxide air pollution hotspot[3] and as of 2017 the air pollution caused by Yatağan and neighboring Kemerköy power station and Yeniköy power station is estimated to have caused 45,000 premature deaths.[4] 2 workers were killed in 2018 and the plant's safety has been criticized by the Chamber of Engineers.[5] In 2018 the plant received 70 million lira capacity payments,[6] and 94 million lira in 2019.[7] In 2019 local people protested against 48 villages being destroyed by expansion of the mine feeding the plant.[8] Opponents of the coal mining also claim it threatens the ancient city of Lagina.[9]
